All eight mages along with their partners appeared in Hargeon port. Makarov grew a wide smile but after on ship for almost two days with tow dragon slayers who can't take any motion at all it was getting tougher not to throw them both over board and make them swim their way to Tenrou Island. Thankfully his wait was over. The Island was in sight. He gathered all of the mages to the deck of the ship. "I will now announce the details of the second exam."
Part 2: Chapter 20: Tenrou Island Arc Part 2
(Rengougun, Shuuketsu! OST)
"SECOND!" Every mage roared from surprise at what the master had stated.
"The first exam was meeting up in Hargeon. I honestly expected at least one or two to drop out. Now... LET ME FINISH BRATS!" Makarov snapped at all the mages. They quickly became quiet.
"You see the smoke raising up from that beach?" As Makarov pointed towards the beach everyone turned to see. "First you go there. There you will find eight paths. Only one group may enter each path." Makarov then pulled out a chart. Three of the paths were marked Hard Battle, Four paths lead to two an area marked Battle with one exit path each. There was also one marked as a quiet battle. "Only the teams that get through this will pass the second exam!"
"In the Battle routes, two teams will meet up, and only the winning team will be able to proceed. In the Hard battle you must face an S class wizard. You must defeat them in order to proceed."
"Why is there only three routes for that?" Freed asked the master.
"Well spotted as normal Freed. Only three of our four S class mages will be taking part. All four left as you won't know who you face. The quiet battle route is where you can proceed through the exam without having to fight anyone. You goal in this first exam are power and luck!"
"Luck?!" Levy, Gray, Wendy, Loke and Bixlow seemed the most confused about the luck part of the test.
"If its luck we might be able to do this Cana!" Lucy tried to encourage Cana.
"I'm not too sure Lucy I mean it's a one in eight chance we get the quite zone." Cana seemed to be a bit worried about Lucy's optimism.
"I-impossible we don't know who we could face in the hard battle." Elfman was panicking while looking at the chart.
"Now let the exam BEGIN!" Makarov called for the start of the exam.
(Buck Thieves OST)
Everyone looked confused. They were in the middle of the ocean. Natsu looked at Happy who silently nodded back. "Get it Happy! We can choose the first path!"
"AYE SIR!" As Happy and Natsu flew away the where stopped just before they left the ship by a rune. Natsu was getting mad as everyone around looked confused.
"Relax! It's set to dissipate in five minutes!"
"FREED YOU BASTARD!" Natsu and Gray roared at Freed.
"Why don't you just lock'em here forever?" Bickslow asked Freed as he flew on his 'babies'.
"Then it won't be an exam Bickslow." Freed answered as they flew off towards the beach.
"Hey gramps! Is this really fair?" Gray complained to the master.
"Quit crying Gray it's not a race y'know?" Makarov shot down Gray.
"Yeah! I can rewrite it!" Levy shouted out. Everyone turned towards her as she rewrote the rune surrounding the ship.
"Nice one Levy!" Lucy cheered for Levy.
"But only for Gajeel and me!" Levy shouted as she and Gajeel jumped off the ship and began to swim towards the island. "Sorry Lu!" Lucy looked onwards towards Levy with anime tears.
"I've known Freed for a long time. Not his best work." Evergreen had her normal smug look on her face.
"Nice one Evergreen!" Elfman cheered his partner. They both jumped off as Elfman roared man.
"So what now?" Lucy asked hoping some one would come up with an answer. But there was no reply.
(And Then)
"It's gone! Let's go Lucy!" Cana and Lucy both jumped off the ship.
"C'mon Loke!" Gray wasn't far behind the two female mages.
"At least put some underwear on dammit!" Loke shouted at Gray while chasing after him.
"Happy!" Happy grabbed a hold as they flew off.
"AYE SIR! MAX SPEED!" Happy flew off at incredible speed towards the island.
"ICE MAKE: FLOOR!" Gray then froze a path towards the island as he and Loke skated towards Tenrou.
Lisanna has by this stage already turned into a fish and Juvia into water as the swam underneath the waves towards the island. This left Lucy and Cana dead last as Mest and Wendy where nowhere to be found.
(Natsu)
Moments after leaving the ship Natsu and Happy landed on the beach.
"This island... I can feel great power coming from the land."
"Yeah... Me too little buddy. Let's go!" Natsu soon arrived at the path gates. Route A, B, F and H were already sealed off.
"Natsu Four are closed off already! Which one should we pick?" Happy asked Natsu who was deep in thought while looking at the remaining routes open for him.
"That one! E! That must be E for Erza!" Natsu pointed towards the cave entrance marked E.
"Why would you pick to fight against Erza?!" Happy was clueless over Natsu's reason.
"Cuz, I want to deck her in the schnoz! WAIT FOR ME ERZA!" Natsu ran into the cave marked route E.
"C'mon... Don't just decide that she's in there!"
(Erza)
Unknown to Natsu, Erza was in fact in Route D. She was waiting for her challenger to arrive. She was secretly hoping for either Gray or Natsu to appear. It wasn't often she got to go full out in a fight so Erza was actually looking forward to who ever she faced. She soon started to hear a pair of footsteps towards her.
"So who do you think we might get in this route Juvia?" Lisanna didn't seem worried much as she small talk with Juvia.
"I just hope I don't have to face my darling Lord Gray!" And with that Lisanna was lost. It seemed Earthland's Juvia was so much different to the Juvia she knew in Edolas. They soon ran into Erza.
"Juvia Lockser, Lisanna Strauss. You have chosen Route D and now face me. Erza Scarlett. RE-QUIP: SEA EMPRESS ARMOUR!" Erza changed into her Sea Empress suit. "Now... BEGIN!"
Juvia took a deep breath before she responded. "WATER SLICER!"
(Mira)
Elfman and Evergreen had taken Route A. Their walk was not inside a cave but along the beach itself. They soon ran into who they would be facing.
"Of all the people we could have gotten." Elfman was starting to shake in fear.
"We had to run into her?" Evergreen began to do the same as to who they faced.
"Hello little brother. This was unexpected." Mira smiled at Elfman. She was in her normal state at that moment but that soon changed. "TAKE OVER: SATAN SOUL!" Mira changed into her Satan Soul. "Don't expect me to go easy on you just because your my little brother y'know."
Now Elfman and Evergreen were really beginning to sweat and shake from fear.
"Come." Mira waved her fingers towards both mages.
Elfman then charged towards Mira. "TAKE OVER: BEAST!"
(Makarov)
Knowing that all of the mages would've chosen their routes by now Makarov brought the ship into the port on the island. He soon seen a figure of a man standing on the dock waiting for the ship to arrive. As the ship got closer Makarov noticed who it was standing there. He approached him when the ship was fully docked and secured.
"It's a shame you never got to take part in this years event. What happened you lose the draw?"
"No we didn't have a draw." The man replied.
"Then how did you happen to not take part?"
"I lost a fight. Was a close one too." The man's face didn't show any disappointment or regret despite the fact he lost.
"Who did you lose to?"
(Cana and Lucy)
Both girls were the last to pick a route.
"Seven closed off. So we really were last." Cana couldn't help but to be disappointed by the outcome of this.
"It's alright! They say luck comes to those left over!" Lucy once again tried her best to cheer Cana up. "Luck is all I'm good at, After all." Lucy winked at Cana. "We're gonna become s ranked no matter what! , Cana!"
"Yeah... Thanks Lucy." Cana finally smiled. The pair of mages walked in to the final Route marked C. They entered a cave.
"It's brighter than I expected." Lucy looked the glowing orbs that were inside the cave.
"These are spirit light bugs. They're summer time bugs. Their bodies light up at night or dark places." Cana told Lucy what the orbs were.
"Oh! That voice is it her?" A mystery voice called out inside the cave.
"Don't tell me this route is a." Lucy looked up inside the cave and seend a bannner hanging from the ceiling. "BATTLE!"
"I knew it! Cana and the Cosplayer!" Bickslow taunted both mages.
"Cosplay! Cosplay!" Bickslow's babies also helped with the taunting.
"IT'S LUCY!" Lucy shouted back at Bickslow and his babies. She hated this nickname he had given her.
"So I guess this means we gotta fight you." Freed added to Bickslow's comments as he smiled towards Cana and Lucy.
"What did you say about those left over, Lucy?" Cana was stunned to find both mages in front of her as she couldn't lay a finger on Freed the last time they fought.
"Thunder God Tribe..." Lucy was just as stunned as she only beat Bickslow thanks to Loke who she was unable to summon for help this time around.
"Apparently only the winning group can go ahead." Bickslow pointed to the closed gate that was the exit.
"Sorry Cana but this is as far as you go. The one who will take Laxus' place will be me." Freed glared at Cana. Cana started to shake off her nerves.
"Fine! We have our own reasons why we need To become S Class, y'know! LET'S DO THIS!"
(Natsu)
Natsu and Happy had been walking down the cave for quite a while Natsu was beginning to get annoyed.
"ERZA! GET OUT HERE ALREADY! LET'S FIIIIIIGHT!" Natsu roared inside the cave.
"But we're not sure if Erza is really down here yet. Natsu" Happy was walking instead of flying behind Natsu.
"So what?! I went down the E path for Erza path! I'm gonna beat Erza here, And then become an S class mage!" Natsu pointed down Route E.
"Natsu! The path's opened up!" Happy got Natsu attention but they could hear footsteps walking towards them.
"Who's there?" The footsteps got closer. Soon a man voice called out.
"Yo, Natsu. Looks like you got bad luck on this round." The mystery man walked into the light showing off his face.
Happy then grabbed Natsu's bag and started to drag it back. "It's over Natsu." Natsu seemed to be getting pumped and ready for action.
"Now I'm really all fired up! BRING IT ON GIIIILDARTS!" Natsu then charged towards Gildarts.
(Flashback)
(Seven days before)
"CRUSHING EVIL!" "MAGE ART!" "EMPYREAN!" "REGULUS RASENGAN!" Both attacks hit square on each other. The blast send Mira and Erza backwards from the force as a bright light spread from the epicentre of the impact from both attacks.
Mira and Erza soon got back up on their feet and looked towards both male mages. The dust had finally settled and Naruto was seen standing above Gildarts who was on his knees "I can't believe it Naruto won!" Mira was in shock as well as Erza. A tear grew on Erza's cheek. She was proud of how strong Naruto had become.
"YEEEEEEEESSSSSSS!" Naruto roared loudly for his unlikely victory. "I guess I finally win... old... man." Naruto then fell backwards and hit the ground hard.
Mira and Erza could believe this Naruto looked fine just moments before. Gildarts slowly pulled himself up to his feet. "You fought well kid. But... I'd gonna be a few years before your at my level. You'll be there soon." Gildarts smile at Naruto who was now lying out cold. Erza rushed towards Naruto. She held him up.
"Thank god he's ok."
"Don't worry Erza he just needs some rest."
"How... How did you win?" A shocked Mira asked Gildarts.
"My guess is Magic Power Deficiency. He's not used to using his magic power and hasn't got much control over it at this moment." Gildarts was feeling the same effects himself but was more used to the strain of using his own magic. "A good nights rest and he'll be fine. I give him one thing though. Those attacks of his pack one hell of... a... punch." Gildarts also collapsed to the ground. Mira and Erza couldn't help but smile and laugh.
"It's just like them. Isn't it Erza?"
"Yes. Both still have a smile on their faces."
And Cut! This chapter was fun to write an in honesty I changed the outcome of the Gildarts vs Naruto fight several times lol. Now in case your wondering why I chose Gildarts for Victory is simple. Naruto isn't near his level yet but in part 3 that will all change. All I'm going to say. I'm looking forward to the rest of this Arc. There will be a few twists from the cannon as I'm really excited about writing it. It is going to be a long Arc as well since the first proper arc i feel in Fairy Tail was Edolas so expect a long haul on this one guys lol. So with out delay here is this chapter's Q&A!
1) How far ahead have you planned? I'm up as far as the Tartarus Arc in the Manga. Halfway through planning and will be writing here and there during the long break between Part 2 and 3. I'm gonna make it even bigger than before!
2) Why give Naruto Heavenly body magic? I gave a simple clue and some guess it. The colour of the magic inside of Naruto was picked because it was the closest colour to that type of magic when shown in the anime. And since I didn't want to give his God, Devil or Dragon Slayer magic (As sated before) I gave him Jellal's because I felt it would be best suited for Naruto.
3) Kakashi or Piccolo Jr (No Nail or Kami fused). Who would win? (I getting alot of these death battle between The Dragonball universe and the Naruto universe. This is the first one with out Goku lol. Maybe I should create a cross over just for this soon lol. Might be a bit of fun and could post a full battle with each one and post my reason after. Tell me what would you think of it? SO this will be the final one lol.) So this Picccolo as you asked was the Piccolo from the final saga in the Dragonball anime before Z. This one gave me a few hours of thought and spend most of my time at work today thinking this one over. And I still haven't made my mind up yet so I'll answer it fully in the next chapter promise.
4) Favourite genre in Anime? I'd sit down and watch most anime but everyone has their favourites. I'd mainly watch Shounen Anime but for a proper genre I'd go with Comedy/ Slice of life. I'd most likely watch a full season in a day. A good example of this type of anime that I have watched an enjoyed have been Bunny Drop, K-On, Lucky Star and Toradora.
That's all for this chapter folks. Don't forget to Review or PM myself if you have any questions you want to ask. I just checked the maths after I finished this chapter and seen I reached over 100,000 words so a major milestone! (This comment may or may not have been added in order to reach this lol) As usual I hope you've all enjoyed this chapter. Till next time!
